YETI Rambler Gallon Jug, Vacuum Insulated, Stainless Steel with MagCap

At first i was saying its way over priced and it kinda is, but its super durable and its been keeping my water cold and ice still ice for days at a time. I work in construction here in Hawaii where the suns hot and you NEED to drink a lot of water, this thing does exactly what i need it to do, to keep my water ice cold everytime i drink from it. Ive seen other jugs on the job sites ive been on and you see a lot of cracked covers, broken handles, and a lot of dented ones. So far its been taking the abuse well(i do take care of my stuff). Magnet on the top to hold the cap is awesome and super strong, love it. I have read before i bought this that its hard to take of the lid, yes it is hard sometimes but if your a man it shouldnt be so hard where you cant get it off lol

Hard to drink out of and not get wet , lid leaks not the quality of the one I bought in 2017.

I currently have 3 RTIC coolers- the soft day cooler, plus the 20 QT & QT45 QT hard coolers I only have one YETI coffee tumbler I do like RTIC prices better and there quality is pretty good. Ok Lets start off. For Comparison, I got the one gallon jug in White from RTIC and I used that for 2 days. I compared it with with the one gallon jug in yellow from YETI that I used for 2 days. *Biggest thing- The RTIC doesnt hold one gallon. The RTIC only hold about 116oz. The YETI holds 128 oz. So, if you go with the RTIC and trying to drink one gallon a day, youll have to drink 1.5 cups (12oz) more to reach you goal. *Second is leaking- I have the jug in the passenger seat of my truck while Im driving, and the RTIC does leak a little when it falls on its side. I havent seen any leaks from the YETI yet. *Third thing is the weight- RTIC is lighter and smaller that the YETI. RTIC weights about 2.1 lbs while the YETI clocks in at 4.1 lbs. A two pounds difference! So initially, I went with the RTIC because the price was better but I was taken back that it doesnt hold a full gallon as advertised. Being smaller is nice and everything, and its lighter to pick up and carry. Im drinking 1 gallon of water a day, so the fact Ill have to drink more that the RTIC jug isnt good. Also comparing the metal handles, the RTIC seems much more fragile that the sturdier handle of the YETI. My only complaint with the RTIC 20QT hard cooler is the flimsy handle, so it does seem like YETI makes better handles. My justification for keeping the YETI and returning the RTIC: man reason is I want a full gallon to take with me all day and not have to drink extra to meet my goals. YETI has a 5 year warranty so if you break down the price, its like buying a $26 water bottle every year for 5 years. I hope this review was helpful

Loved it till i needed customer support! They make it so difficult to do anything except give them your money. If you need parts forget it. I was promissed a cap for my 1 gallon jug! It never came i contacted them and just gave up!

Before buying this product more than three years ago, I was drinking from plastic water bottles or refilling plastic gallon jugs of water. Despite the gallon jugs being HDPE, I started to notice a stinging in my throat from the plastic degrading or something after dozens of refills. Then came along this purchase, and it has been nothing short of perfect. Its easy to clean, easy to drink from (once you figure out a way to hold it, and assuming you dont mind the funny looks you get), and keeps water cold for an incredible length of time. From a full refill with a layer of ice cubes on top, the rambler kept the water ice cold for as long as it took for me to drink it all, around 18 hours. Mind you, it was a good bit of ice, but also the sheer size of the rambler allows it to have a large vacuum-insulated space surrounding it, which is how it keeps things so cold. I cannot comment on how it performs for hot beverages or stews or that kind of thing, as Ive only ever used it for cold water. Cleaning is a breeze as the large mouth of the rambler with its lid removed is more than sufficient to reach my whole hand and arm inside. One thing Ive found a little tricky to clean are the threads of the screw-on lid for the spout. Soaking it a little and then scraping with a paper towel seems to do the trick well enough though. And for anyone who has trouble getting the whole top off of the rambler (believe me, I did too for quite a while), a good trick is to get it on the counter at chest height, wrap your right arm around the steel body of it, then put your left hand on the vertical part of the handle, thumb at the top at the rubber grip, and the rest of your left hands fingers nearer the handles screw. Then pull your left hand leftwards while your right hand/arm keeps the body of the jug stationary. The lid should come off with some force applied.

No metallic taste or smell. Easy to clean and durable. Kept my water cold for hours. Returned this item because it was too heavy for travel and bring to work. I got the 64 oz instead which is my ideal size for on the go.

What caused me to give this 4 stars instead of 5? In order to prevent it from leaking, I have to CRANK the lid down so hard that it takes everything my wife and I combined have in us to unscrew it to clean and refill it, one holding it and the other unscrewing it. And both of us are large strong people. If the lid is just normally tight, it leaks around the rim of the lid like a sieve. And, no, its not cross-threaded, it screws on smoothly and easily. Pros: Everything else. If it werent for the need to use superhuman strength to close and open the thing, Id want to give it 6 stars. Sturdy bottle, sturdy handle, magnetic holder for pour spout lid works great, this thing is a tank.

This container has very limited practical usage. Yes, it does keep liquids at desired temp for a long time even in direct sun exposure for hours. Yes, its very durable. The fun stops there. I can see this being used for water storage in harsh conditions like construction sites, camping trips, etc. If youre looking to just have it on you for regular use throughout the day, look elsewhere. Its too heavy; carrying it around can be annoying due to weight, and this is coming from a regular gym junkie grown man. Not easy to operate with one hand; this is obvious of course, however due to weight and bulkiness of it, its also cumbersome to have it in your passenger seat in the car and picking it up/putting it down back with one hand at that angle is also annoying. The lid is a HUGE pain in the neck to open up half the time. As all other reviews state, this can be a daunting task which would probably not suit most people. Overall, if you are getting this container for the purpose its intended to, then you will love it and the price tag will be worth it. For casual daily use it probably wont work out. Im going to be returning this and most likely purchasing 2 smaller yeti bottles instead just for the ease of use. Or I may explore other options.

It keeps things cold for a long time. However, this thing is capable of cold fusion or something. Cold welding? Whatever. Basically, itll seal itself shut. The large lid I mean. I used to use a rolling pin to open it, but it eventually broke. I now stick it between the gaps of an iron gate and twist the bottle to open it. I tried twisting it under a fridge to turn the lid, but it lifted the fridge. I tried a stove, it lifted the stove. I tried a car, but it was too time consuming to roll a wheel over the handle. Iron gate worked best. Also, the handle survived all that without being bent. So good quality. Water can tend to taste like soap after a while? Im not sure about that soap thing though.

I only had it for little while and I love it. the only down side is that if you screw it on too tight you need the power of a god to un-screw it but I figured out out how to get a good seal on it with out struggling to un-screw when I need too for re-filling, other than that it is prefect and like youd expect it keeps thing cold or hot for hours at a time and it gets me to drink more water because the water I just there at an arms reach and has no flavor ones you give it a good clean (no strong chemicals as instruction say) and has a magnetic cap holder, worth every penny in my opinion, so in conclusion I love this jug because it gets me thru the enterer day with out worrying about running out of cold water and is super sturdy as well, (can dubbed up as a cooler sense the neck of this jug is big enough to fit a caned beavered)
